An alterca ion occurred at Marietta
| last Thursday afternoon between ID. b.
Parks, Jr., city street boss, and James
Holcomb, a -couHtrYm2n, in regard TO
Iolcomb's wagon running into the city

turing his skull. He was arrested 10y

Americas Recorder: Fifty bushels OF
peanuts were received here In one ship
ment yesterday morning from Tennessee.
No Importance would be attached to the
above fact were il not that 1t was IRE
qUent occurrence for them to be shipped
here In even larger quantities, and this

AmerIcus Recorder: There is no use in
| sending to Florida tor early vegetables
when they can easily be raised right here
! almost as soon as tbey can there. In
! proof of this fact we will state that Mrs.
! Anna Stanford, OF this city, has been lux
uriating on English peas from Der own
| garden this week and would have had
them earlier had the late winds not blown
| the vines about. With proper manage
ment people could live much cheaper
| here than they do, as even now
| many varieties OF vegetables, such
as peas, potatoes, radisnes, asparagus,
lettuce, greens, etc, can be had rom the
! gardens of those who give them the prop
t, er attention, and these are not oniy whole

COW and few acres OF Land, all OF
which anyone can easily possess here,
there need be no fears of starvation. pro-
vided the owner thereof has the proper
